Hi Everyone

It's been a while since I posted anyting, too busy working and enjoying my new life in America, How time flies, it is almost time to send off my I-751 for lifting of conditions. On looking over the form there is one question I am not sure how to answer.

In part 3 question 7 asks, have you ever been convicted Etc I did have one small blemish on my record which was disclosed on my original I-129F and discounted as a misdemeanor and ignored by the INS. Unfortunatley I cannot find the copy of the I-485 as we have had a lot of work done to our house and don't remember how we handled this question.

any help or advise will be appreciated as it always has been

thanks and good luck on your journey

2.

If you have ever been convicted or placed in an alternativesentencing program or rehabilitative program (such as a drugtreatment or community service program), submit:
